Donald Stufft added the comment:

With regard to PSK and SRP. Seeing as how Python doesn't currently support them, SRP had a patch that hasn't been worked on since 2011 and PSK doesn't have a patch at all that this cipher string shouldn't concern itself with something that Python might someday in the future gain support for.

If someone comes along and adds PSK or SRP support they can adjust the cipher string in that patch, probably by adding the PSK or SRP ciphers conditionally when the parameters that are required for those ciphers are passed into wrap_socket, or maybe just all the time. Point being it shouldn't be a consideration now as adding it later is simple.
